The 35th B.C. Ground Water Association Convention
On behalf of the B.C. Ground Water Association's Executive
and Directors, I invite you to attend our upcoming conference
at the Penticton Lakeside Resort from Thursday, March 3rd
to Saturday, March 5th.
The Convention is an important event for all members and
non-members of B. C. This year there will be a lot of information
pertaining to the new regulations, upcoming educational sessions
and training workshops. It is an important meeting that everyone
needs to attend.
We are starting our convention on Thursday morning with a
one-day seminar on Well Design and Rehabilitation. Dr. John
H. Schieders and Mr. Thom Hanna will be reviewing the principles
of proper water well design and the importance of taking a
scientific, chemistry based approach. See attached flier for
details and prices.
Thursday evening will be a chance for everyone to meet with
the Manufacturers & Suppliers in an informal setting.
There will be some tabletop displays and a silent auction
and some draws taking place. If you would like to donate to
the silent auction please let the office know and bring your
item to the convention. Complimentary wine and beer will be
served from 5:00 to 6:00 and a light dinner will be served
at 6:00. A no host bar will be offered until 10:00.
Friday will start off with an opening address from WLAP Minister
Bill Barisoff and then the regular meetings will begin. Check
the enclosed schedule for the speaker timetable. We will end
the day with our Banquet and Entertainment.
The Annual General Meeting will be held on Saturday morning,
March 5, 2005 from 9:30 to 12:00. This meeting is important
and will directly effect how we do business in the future!
